All mass attracts all other mass, thats a fact. The force between two independent masses depends on the total mass and the distance between them.
The "cause" of gravity is subject to great debate, even today.

How does gravity work with wind to cause erosion?
The force applied by wind can overcome the force of gravity to move objects from their existing position. Erosion has occurred. As soon as gravity predominates over the wind, the object is deposited. The erosion has been halted.
Why does earth have gravity when earth is in space?
because the earth has mass. Gravity is a the force of attraction that is related to the mass of an object. The greater the mass, the stronger the force of gravity.
The force that pulls an object to the centre of the earth is?
isn't in gravity??
How should you change the masses to increase the forces of gravity between two objects?
More mass = more force of gravity.
What determins the strength of the force of gravity between two objects?
-- the product of the masses of the two objects -- the distance between their centers
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the objects is said to be?
= Terminal velocity =
Measure of force of gravity acting in an object?
weight, The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on it.
How is gravity different for objects that freely fall down and those thrown upwards?
The gravity acting on a rising object and that on a falling object are the same when these objects are at the same height. What is different is that a rising object is decelerating by the force of gravity and the falling object is accelerating.
Does an object at rest have forces acting on it and if so what forces would be along the vertical axis?
All objects on earth have the force of Gravity acting on them.
Why do you have to use force to lift objects?
Because there is a force of gravity constantly pulling it towards the center of earth. When you exert enough force to over come the gravity acting on an object it is lifted
Is there any force acting on an object which is falling freely?
Yes. The definition of "free fall" implies that gravity from Earth - or perhaps from different objects - is acting on the body.
Is mass or weight the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?
The force of gravity on an object is called its weight.Note that mass is what CAUSES this force of gravity.
The downward force acting on an object in free fall is the force of what?
The downward force acting on an object in free fall is Gravity.
What is another force acting on an object?
gravity
What is a force acting between two objects?
gravity
When the only force affecting an objects is gravity that object is an?
When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".
What is the measure of the force of gravity of acting on an object?
the WEIGHT of the object.
